At Monochrome, your safety is our top priority. We believe that every passenger should feel secure, comfortable, and in control while riding with us. Whether you're heading to work, meeting friends, or exploring a new part of town, we've put together some essential safety tips to help you stay protected during your journey. Here’s how to make sure every ride with Monochrome is a safe and smooth experience.

1. Verify Your Ride Before Getting In

Before you step into a Monochrome vehicle, take a few moments to double-check that you’re getting into the right car:

- Check the Car Details: Always confirm that the car’s make, model, and license plate match the information displayed in the Monochrome app.

- Verify the Driver: Check the driver’s name and photo to ensure they match the details provided in the app. If anything seems off, don’t hesitate to contact Monochrome’s customer support team.

- Ask for Your Name: A good practice is to ask the driver to say your name before getting into the car. The driver should know your name, and this quick check ensures you're getting into the correct vehicle.

This simple verification process goes a long way in ensuring that you’re safely riding with your Monochrome driver.

2. Share Your Trip Details in Real-Time

Monochrome makes it easy for you to share your trip details with friends or family so they can keep an eye on your journey:

- Use the Share Feature: In the Monochrome app, you can share your real-time trip information with someone you trust. They’ll be able to track your ride’s progress, see your estimated arrival time, and know when you reach your destination safely.

- Keep Loved Ones Informed: Sharing your trip details is especially helpful if you’re traveling alone, late at night, or in an unfamiliar area. It gives your loved ones peace of mind knowing they can see your journey from start to finish.

Keeping others informed about your ride helps ensure your safety and provides an added layer of security during your travels.

3. Choose Your Seating Wisely

Where you sit in the car can make a difference when it comes to safety and comfort:

- Sit in the Back Seat: Whenever possible, sit in the back seat of the Monochrome vehicle. This provides you with the most space and distance from the driver, giving you a clear view of your surroundings and easier access to both doors.

- Wear Your Seatbelt: It might seem like common sense, but always wear your seatbelt. Buckling up is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself in case of an accident.

Sitting in the back seat and wearing your seatbelt are easy habits that go a long way in keeping you safe on the road.

4. Trust Your Instincts and Speak Up

At Monochrome, we believe that every passenger has the right to feel safe and respected during their ride. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts:

- Speak Up if You Feel Uncomfortable: If your driver’s behavior or the route they’re taking makes you uneasy, don’t hesitate to speak up. Politely ask the driver to follow the Monochrome app's directions or stop the ride if necessary.

- Use the In-App Safety Features: Monochrome’s app includes an emergency assistance button that allows you to quickly contact local authorities or our support team if you ever feel threatened or in danger.

- Rate Your Driver Honestly: Your feedback matters. If you experience any issues during your ride, rate your driver honestly in the app and provide detailed comments so that Monochrome can take appropriate action.

Your comfort and safety are paramount, and we’re here to support you at every step.

5. Stay Alert and Minimise Distractions

Staying aware of your surroundings is crucial to your safety while riding with Monochrome:

- Limit Phone Use: It’s tempting to scroll through social media or check messages during your ride, but staying aware of the route and your surroundings is essential. Use your phone’s GPS to follow along with the driver’s route.

- Avoid Sharing Too Much Personal Information: While it’s okay to engage in small talk with your driver, avoid sharing overly personal details like where you live, work, or other sensitive information.

Staying alert helps you notice anything unusual during your ride and makes it easier to react if necessary.
